hide script on script include

[sydneyespos]

Hi community, do you have insights on how to hide the script section in script include for a particular script include? Only certain role can view the script.

Hi @sydneyespos,

a script include without the script field is useless... why would you do that?

If you want to restrict the access, then you can apply custom ACL on [sys_script_include] table... with that only specific role or group of users will have access to that field.

EDIT: custom ACL or adjust existing ones

https://yourinstance.service-now.com/sys_security_acl_list.do?sysparm_query=nameSTARTSWITHsys_script_include

Or you can think of adding/removing snc_required_script_writer_permission role but it would have impact on all scripting, not just script include:

This role was introduced one or two releases back, so check if your instance have it.

we need to hide the script for specific script include as it is confidential

OK, then you will need a security admin to adjust these ACL accordingly:

Based on the exact permission - shall the people see the script includes but cannot edit them (debugging purposes) or not to see them at all?

Based on the answers to questions above, you might want to restrict the access on the table level (they cannot see it at all) or field level (script field would be read only or invissible for them)..
